Saints released RB Patrick Cobbs (undisclosed) with an injury settlement.

Cobbs landed on injured reserve during cut-down weekend after appearing in 51 games for the Dolphins the past four seasons. He'll look to sign somewhere as a special teamer, though he does have 32 career receptions. Mon, Sep 12, 2011 01:27:00 PM

Saints signed RB/KR Patrick Cobbs, formerly of the Dolphins.

Cobbs was a long-time favorite of Fins coach Tony Sparano. He must have been something to behold in practices because he rarely had a game-day impact in Miami. Cobbs is a roster longshot in a deep Saints backfield. Tue, Aug 16, 2011 05:22:00 PM

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel believes the Dolphins could re-sign Patrick Cobbs for a special teams role.

Cobbs played under six snaps per game in 2010, primarily as a receiver out of the backfield. The news here is that the Dolphins could be in the market for a new scatback, a position coach Tony Sparano has long wanted to upgrade. Free agent Darren Sproles and trade candidate Steve Slaton both fit the bill. Tue, Jul 26, 2011 09:18:00 AM

Free agent RB Patrick Cobbs is latest player to support Adrian Peterson's comments comparing the NFL to "modern-day slavery."

"I wouldn't say slave. But we are at the mercy of [owners]," Cobbs said. "Obviously, we all love to play the game. But I think at times we are slaves. They tell us to jump and we jump. ... I can see where [Peterson] is coming from. So that's like slaves. But we're not slaves because we get paid pretty well to do it." This preposterous message has been so consistent that it suggests NFLPA leaders have indoctrinated all members with the propaganda. Tue, Mar 29, 2011 04:18:00 PM

Depth Charts

Saints RB Daniel Lasco is out for the season with a bulging disc in his spine.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the injury will end Lasco's season but is not considered career threatening. Mainly a special teamer, Lasco suffered the injury in kickoff coverage during New Orleans' Week 10 win over Buffalo.

Huff was arrested for DUI, speeding, and marijuana possession in November of 2016, although the charges were dropped this past July. Huff will be in a roster crunch in New Orleans, and not being available for Weeks 1-2 won't help.

Saints TE Josh Hill underwent surgery to repair the ring finger on his left hand.

The finger had apparently been locked at a "90-degree angle" during the season. Including the playoffs, Hill caught 22 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns. He's signed for $2 million for the 2018 season.

Saints placed LG Andrus Peat on injured reserve with a broken fibula and a high-ankle sprain, ending his season.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the ligament damage in Peat's ankle isn't as bad as originally feared, and he'll make a full recovery. Expect the Saints to take it easy on Peat in spring work, but he should be 100% well before training camp. Senio Kelemete will handle left guard the rest of the way.
